yow. $45 for a virus clean? Thank Ubuntu I don't worry about that.

$120 for supposed data recovery?

which probably means that if its in the recycle bin, he can restore it for $120. if not, he refers you to his friend charging $5,000 for real data recovery.

Stuff I don't need?

Easy one- Windows

Btw I backup my data daily - for free - no need to pay $120 (about £80 in the uk)

[earobinson]

MS Office - Open Office is perfect for me :)

[Kerberos]

Having to spend more time tweaking with the OS, editing random files and looking at howto's than I actually spend on actual, real, work.

Stuff I don't need:

A greedy world conquering mega-corp (M$) bullying and bossing me around.
A bunch of idiots telling me that everything that looks like a Win95 clone is good and everything that looks like a OS9 clone is illegal and a crime to have/provide (The GNOME developers).
*******.
An antivirus app.
An antispyware app.
Loads of malware and spam.
And others like those.

Hmm...

Small children.

Fundamentalists (the kind who put the fun, the duh, and the mental into Fundamental) of any stripe.

The RIAA and their DRM dreams.

Any of Frank Miller's Batman work, post Batman: Year One.

75% of the software in a typical Linux install. (I do not need 3 different text editors, and 4 shells.) (Ubuntu being an atypical install.)

Another gas guzzling Hummer/Cadillac/TackySteelViagraVanityBlingMobile on the roads.

Racist/Sexist/Bigoted/Homophobic idiots.

Dialup Internet Access.

Fish. (Can't stand the taste, texture, and smell.)

And finally ... Anti Virus software ... at least at home.
